Classroom Security

Exit devices are required on openings for rooms with occupancy of 50 people or more.  It is often forgotten that the school cafeteria, gymnasium, music rooms and auditorium are also classrooms and need the ability to be locked down in an emergency.  Von Duprin offers security indicators on the trim that quickly lets staff and students know if a door is locked.  See how Von Duprin is part of the overall classroom security solution.

Lockdown 

Safety of students and staff is paramount on every campus. 

For mechanical openings, Von Duprin offers the double cylinder with security indicators option which locks the outside trim, or pull side of the door, from inside the room.  This option includes easy to follow directional indication and a clear security indicator. For applications that require dogging, the cylinder (CDSI) hex (HDSI) dogging indicators can be used to provide at-a-glance verification of the status of the door from inside of the room. For electrified devices with latch retraction, the Emergency Security Lockdown (ESL) interrupts power to the QEL motor, extending the latchbolt to secure pull side of the door as well as sends a signal to the access control system.

Additionally, Von Duprin  Remote Monitoring and Remote Undogging options are great for adding electrified functionality to remotely monitor door lock status or remotely undog (lock) doors if an emergency arises.

Severe Weather

Some schools use the gymnasium or other large classroom as a storm shelter.  Von Duprin offers products for wind and hurricane prone regions to address these needs.  

Noise Reduction

Von Duprin’s Quiet Mechanical and Quiet Electric Latch options can be used to reduce noise in and around the auditorium, administration offices, and near classrooms.

Stairwell Doors

High traffic areas such as stairwell doors have unique access control needs due to fire and life safety codes. Von Duprin fire rated products meet safety requirements, while providing people quick access to the safest route of egress.
